CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Denver Broncos face the Kansas City Chiefs at 8:30 tonight in an AFC West showdown on Monday Night Football, shown on ESPN.

The Chiefs (5-2) are coming off a loss to rival Oakland Raiders and now they play another rival in the Broncos.

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is having a solid season. He leads the league with a 72.4 percent completion rate and he has the weapons (Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelce) to continue his rate against the Broncos, especially since the Broncos have already allowed 11 touchdown passes after giving up only 13 all of last season.

The Broncos (3-3) will welcome the return of linebacker Shane Ray, who missed six games due to a broken left wrist. His return is also in his hometown of Kansas City, which will certainly add to his inspiration.
